Barring injury, I don't see haow he can go anywhere else next season.
He has stayed with us through what must have been two disappointing seasons. He has not gone on to a better league to improve his play, and he has gone through the academic process to be here. It sounds to me like he is committed. And has stuck to his committment. He should be commended for that.

He does have other choices including turning pro and going to another college either in the US or Canada.

What I was trying to say, was that if he was going to go somwhere else, he would have done it by now. The fact that he is on the record now, after all that has transpired shows that he is going to honor his committment.

It does indeed sound like he will show up, but I am waiting until he is sighted on campus (more than once ) Remember that Weaver wrote an article soon before Pirri's announced leaving about the wedding, and we shouldn't worry.

By the way, the Substandard Freeholder had nothing about JL's intentions today.

This is the first time I've heard it from the horses mouth...so I'm going to take the kid at his word....He is quoted in the record article as saying he is putting everything behind him and starting fresh....Me to !!!!!!!!!!!! Im on Board,in fact AspyDad and myself are planninng a trip to O'Canada to see him play....Report to follow

What was the Guy who discovered milk doing to the cow ????????...Or for that matter how bout the fist Guy to drink it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: RPI 2011 Recruit Thread

Just caught up on comments. JL's quote's are pretty emphatic about coming. the obvious of course is that he is coming because he just saw SA land two of his guys in the pros. That's the upside to the JDA, BP saga. JL said all the right things to Ed and to us. Folks what we are seeing is the beginning of the cherry and white becoming a national power in CH again. Thanks to our great coach. This is freaking exciting. At the risk of being rebuked for enthusiasm, can you imagine if Saponari came next year too? Can understand the pessimism especially in light of the last month but let's enjoy this.

I don't think you can even remotely make that connection. JL says he is coming-I'm overjoyed with that. But to say that it is because of the leaving of BP and JD'A is just trying to put a good spin on the unfortunate news(for RPI) that these guys left after one year. People can say what they want about looking on the bright side-I don't really buy any of that. I was looking forward to these guys staying at RPI longer and no amount of trying to make it look better helps.
